Jemele Hill dismissed calls to add men to WNBA broadcasts as “deeply unserious,” arguing that the sports media industry is overrun by “White men.”Earlier this week, NBA reporter Ric Bucher pointed to the lack of diversity on WNBA studio shows, which are staffed predominantly by Black women. Bucher suggested networks like ESPN and NBC add a male voice to the conversation.Hill responded to Bucher’s post by citing what she called the “latest stats.””— 83 percent of sports editors are white men — 75 percent of assistant sports editors are white men — 82 percent of columnists are white men — 67 percent of sports anchors are white men — 68 percent of sports analysts are white men — 65 percent of sports producers are white men.C’mon, Ric. This is deeply unserious.”JOSH PATE WAS EVICTED WHILE EARNING $27K. NOW, HE RUNS A COLLEGE FOOTBALL MEDIA EMPIREAs OutKick argued on Monday, Bucher is correct that mainstream WNBA programming lacks diversity. However, it’s the lack of diversity in worldview that is consequential.WNBA programming doesn’t necessarily need someone of a particular gender or race to improve the discourse. It needs someone willing to represent the other side of the conversation, someone to challenge claims…

Celebrities come and go in Middleburg, Virginia, a Piedmont hamlet of fewer than 1,000 people, where horses outnumber the residents ten to one and beagles and foxhounds abound.John and Jackie Kennedy, Sen. John Warner and his wife Elizabeth Taylor, Linda Tripp of Clinton-Lewinsky fame, and, as of last month, Vice President JD Vance and his family, all have resided without fanfare in this pastoral area an hour from Washington, D.C.But the region’s newest neighbors — the U.S. Army and 73 horses of the Old Guard’s Caisson Detachment — have divided a community that values the proper care of the horses and the detachment’s mission at Arlington National Cemetery, but fears the move could cost local jobs and restrict access to the region’s premier thoroughbred training facility. The Army finalized an $8.6 million deal on Aug. 6 to buy the Middleburg Training Center, a 149-acre horse farm with 11 barns and ample paddocks and pastures, to house and train the horses that support burials at Arlington National Cemetery. Army officials said they considered more than 100 properties before choosing the Middleburg Training Center, which has newer barns and facilities and room for more than 200 horses.During a town hall with residents…

Both Silver and Gold Make Breakouts President Trump spoke at a Department of State roundtable announcing major new U.S. mining investments, framing them as restoring America as a “minerals superpower” and achieving economic independence after decades of decline. That should be all you need to know in order to understand what’s already started in the gold sector, after this massive consolidation we have been seeing since January 28th! Look at the leveraged gold miners index in the past few weeks! I love this index, because I can be very aggressive, when I believe in the thesis and I have. What Trump did on Friday was to take this bull market to WALL STREET! Trump, in a mining roundtable at the State Department, explained that past policies caused the closing of more than 3,400 mines and outsourcing jobs and praised his administration’s record: 1.     Over 160 mineral deals worth nearly $40 billion in 18 months, the fastest pace of new mine openings since the 1950s. 2.     The first American rare-earth mine in more than 70 years. 3.     The first new aluminum smelter since 1980 (in Oklahoma), authorization of deep-sea mining, rebuilding of the National Defense Stockpile, and more than $12 billion for a strategic…

Newly released bodycam footage shows a bloody-faced U.S. Marine Corps pilot encountering local authorities after ejecting from a F/A-18 Hornet in Washington state two months ago.On June 13, a pilot assigned to Marine Aircraft Group 11, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, safely ejected from the aircraft after an aviation mishap while conducting a routine training exercise.The incident occurred on the south side of Rimrock Lake near Bear Cove in Yakima County, Washington, where the aircraft crashed into the mountainside, sparking a wildfire in the area shortly after.The pilot emerged from a wooded area and approached a law enforcement officer from the Yakima County Sheriff’s Office with his face covered in blood while on a 911 call, according to the office’s bodycam footage shared with Military Times.At the time of the crash, the Marine aircraft wing, based in California, would not confirm whether the aviation mishap caused the wildfire, but the footage shows the officer telling someone on the phone that “We got the hillside on fire where the jet landed.”When asked what type of aircraft it was, the pilot responded, “That’s an F-18. Well, that was an F-18.”“We were doing circles over the lake, doing some low-level training,” the pilot said.…

While the FN Five-SeveN MK2 has never been an everyday carry gun for me personally, it has been carried quite a bit over the years and many hundreds, if not thousands, of rounds have been run through this gun with very few malfunctions.We take a closer look at how the FN Five-seveN pistol and its 5.7x28mm cartridge fare for concealed carry.Due to recent events, the FN Five-seveN and the 5.7x28mm cartridge have become the center of much discussion. This is why they, and their viability for self-defense, are the subject of this article. Without getting into the weeds of reporting on current unfolding events, this article’s intention is to dispel some myths and misconceptions—and present the facts and experiences gleaned from 10 years spent tinkering with both the Five-seveN and the 5.7x28mm. This will hopefully provide insight into the merits and shortcomings of this unique platform, and how they relate to practical and effective use of this handgun and cartridge combination.The story starts in the 1990s when FN began developing a cartridge and PDW, which eventually found its way to the PDW trials in 2000 to 2002. The first phase of these trials took place in the United Kingdom at…

He Wants That Gold… You should have seen it… Or maybe you have… Trump conducted the mining roundtable and one of the participants gifted the president with gold. Trump nearly drooled over it! Hosted by the State Department, the United States of America is going back to mining its own minerals and securing its sovereignty and its supply chains and cutting its reliance on China to the bare minimum. If you think that the dollar can maintain global reserve currency status, when the world’s two major powers are vying for the lead, each with its own way of viewing life, then you’re really living under a rock. Trump is upping the defense budget to $1.5tn and China is not slowing down either. India is emerging, Europe is dying and, even though no one in the corrupt media is covering the Russia-Ukraine war, it is now on the scale and brutality of WW2. Putin is targeting cities and civilians and even though it is 100% accurate that had Bush, Obama and Biden not paint Russia into a corner, Putin would not have considered taking Ukraine by force, it is also 100% true that the world is turning a blind eye to…
